Krzysztof Hołowczyc

Poland

Polish rally legend Krzysztof ‘Holek’ Holowczyc reached the pinnacle of his glittering career in 2015 when he became the first Polish driver to podium at the Dakar Rally.

An icon in his home country, Holek enhanced his reputation even further by taking his MINIALL4 Racing over the line in 3rd place to nail his first top three finish in the Dakar – the best performing Monster Energy Rally Raid driver.

He’s racked up numerous Polish national rally titles as well as Baja successes but he’s known for being a great team man too – he played an integral part in Nani Roma’s 2014 victory by shadowing his teammate throughout the rally.

A hugely popular figure wherever he goes, KH is a big fan of rock music and attends every Speedway Grand Prix event held in Poland where the fans go wild to get a glimpse of their hero.
